Sound Without Sound

Tell me tell me tell me… (Poetry.)

Tell me tell me tell me tell me
Can you hear the beat of this tune?
— I’m playing it just for you,
a sequence of notes that only exist
in the echoing space
between neurons
across continents
and digital playgrounds
this tune is just for you

Tell me tell me tell me tell me
Am I doing what I set out to do?
A melody without sound,
a truly psychic
symphony,
blending Beethoven
and YUNGBLUD,
throw in some druids chanting,
the thrum of the bard’s magic
playing and plying
in layers
beneath
the surface;
sinking down to your cortex’s core

Can you hear the way the waves
move
in and out
of your brain?
Sound without sound in the key
of your synaptic instruments.
I’m playing every tune
just for you.
